1. Center for Transition Services

2. Mission Statement
The WSISD Center for Transition Services is dedicated to helping students with disabilities to excel in society.  The center will provide transition services that include vocational training, employment advocacy, independent living skills, community access skills, and social/recreational activities.  The center will be a place where people with disabilities are able to build relationships, realize future career paths, and seek independence and community integration with a commitment to serve.

3. We are all very committed to the number one goal of the Transition Center………INDEPENDENCE.
Our focus is never the disability but building on the ABILITIES each of these young adults possess.
We are all about increasing their confidence and supporting them in whatever future they choose.
